Thanks! That really did the trick. However, since I am using NovaTerm, I had to reset the C64 after connecting to commodoreserver.com and exiting from NovaTerm (sys 64738 worked).

NovaTerm takes quite a while to load from disk, so it would be great having a BASIC "bootloader" that opens the Connection. As I am new to this, I don't know how to do this. I guess it's about opening the rs232 line on device 2 and sending AT commands?

I found out that there is a Login helper in CSAPPS.D64 within the public root Directory.
I d/l the program and saved it locally. I then tried to add a couple of lines to load the V-1541 application, execute it and then open up device 2 for a Connection to commodoreserver.com as you described. The idea was to chain everything together including Login.

However, this does not seem to work. I guess, I am missing some Point. The Basic program starts loading the V-1541 application but never finishes it it seems.

Yes, you are going to need something that can load the V1541 software (,8,1) and do the SYS49152 call and then continue on. This is difficult in BASIC. You basically have to print the text to the screen and then move the cursor to the start of of the LOAD"V1541",8,1 and fill the keyboard buffer with two returns so that the load is done, then the SYS is done, and then continue. It's a LOT easier to accomplish in assembly code - but it can be done in BASIC.

30 CLOSE2

RUN

When you run this program you should see it connect to Commodore Server. You can save this program to drive 8 by typing:

SAVE"NAME",8

You can change the "NAME" to any name you like.

Thanks. Does this just use whatever baud rate is set on the WiModem already? (I seem to recall that this OPEN statement would normally open a modem in 300 baud or lower. I'm not sure how modems or the WiModem work if you try communicating with them at a bps lower than what they're expecting.)
